Other busines

"Jobber" and "Babette" are sailing due North. Or as North as we can. I'm afraid we're losing a bit of our "Easting" in these NE winds. But it's a good sail, doing 5 to 6 knots, in fairly flat seas. But that's "Lille-Per"- windpilot's job today. We have other busines at hand.

Like a beard trim and a haircut for Ørnulf. With tiny embroidery scissors, snip, snip, snip. The cuttings whirling around the cockpit. That done, time to bake bread. I've got five handy pre-packed zip-locked "Babette" especial mixes. A little spelt flour, whole-wheat, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Just add yeast and water. Two perfect loaves appear out of our tiny gas stove.
Ørnulf is communications officer, with his earplugs on, listening in on "The Norwegian Net" and "The Herb and Sedna Show" Our "Jobber" chats are more static than signal now.

So, what's for dinner? Today, Paella. With spanish rice, marisco and bonita, onions, chistophenes and tomato. I'm starving! Night comes right after dinner, bringing along an almost full moon. It lights up the rolling black seas.

As "Babette", with full sails, goes as North as she can.
